The client
Agent Inbox is a messaging platform for real-estate agents. It uses Multiple Listing Service (MLS) listing data to bring deal-making for realtors into one place.
They wanted an MVP quickly, to attract investors and customers, and as a foundation for further development. They also wanted help building the right internal development team for the long run.
The challenge
After a full year of building the product internally, Agent Inbox still didn’t have a market-ready version, and the platform needed to be rebuilt from scratch. The internal team didn’t have enough resources or technical expertise to deliver it on time.
What we did
- Five full-time engineers, working as Agent Inbox's development team.
- A dedicated project advisor, so leadership could see progress as it happened.
- A kick-off meeting to set expectations, learn the product idea and agree on a plan.
- A simple development process that let Agent Inbox monitor its budget and get the most value from our team.
- A team size that changed with what Agent Inbox needed at each stage.
What changed
The MVP was live in 60 days. In under a year the product added 100,000+ users. Agent Inbox’s own developer team grew from one to six, and we worked together for 50+ months.
With their help, we were able to quickly scale up into our market and land new clients… They also helped us raise millions of dollars in funding over multiple rounds for the project.Tyler GordonCEO and co-founder, Agent Inbox
